Our aim is to provide safe and accessible drinking water and improve hygiene and sanitation in communities.
Without water you can’t grow food, you can’t build housing, you can’t stay healthy, you can’t stay in school and you can’t keep working.
Our aim is to empower communities for sustainable access to health care.
Care for Africa Health programs flourish due to our successful and sustainable Rural School Health Clinic.
Our aim is to remove barriers impeding access to education opportunities in communities.
We all have a right to have the opportunity for education. Without a proper education individuals, society and nations remain trapped in the cycle of poverty.
Social enterprise offers hope for sustainable development by reducing dependency on aid, developing markets and improving the basis for economic growth.
Investing in women’s economic empowerment sets a path towards gender equality, poverty eradication and inclusive economic growth.

Water is life.
Care for Africa provides access to clean drinking water through the installation of deep-water wells and water harvesting into schools and major collection points. Once a deep water well is established in a school. We see school attendances increase by 65% to 90%. This in turn gives the girls an opportunity for education as girls are primarily the water collectors for families. A society is significantly restricted with development if there is no or limited educational opportunities.
We recognise that menstruation, is a significant barrier to girls completing school & ultimately to ensuring gender equality in education
Care for Girls
We recognise that menstruation, is a significant barrier to girls completing school & ultimately to ensuring gender equality in education.
The deep-water bores that we install in the school grounds enables girls, who would otherwise spend their days collecting water, to go to school to obtain an education.
The Installation of proper sanitation toilet blocks with water, private room and soap allow the girls to change & wash their sanitary products.
Girls miss up to 20% of their schooling due to not having sanitary products.
We have educated and set up our Women’s Centres to make a washable sanitary product for the girls.
Our Sponsor Children
Care for Africa sponsors the most vulnerable children in Tarime. The children living in these remote and disadvantaged villages quite often do not get the chance to attend school or receive medical treatment.
As the sponsor of a child, the child is given the opportunity to attend boarding school where they are educated in a safe, nurturing environment. Sponsorship can also provide medical treatment and surgery for those children with correctable disabilities.
